Fished areas 8-2 and 9 on Thursday the 11th and again on Sunday the 14th. The fishing was slow on Thursday but managed to pick up a small Silver by Ship Wreck. On Sunday the action was much better and landed one and lost two. Starting to get it dialed in a bit. Last year I had good success using my typical gear at a trolling speed of 2.4 to 2.7 mph. However, I finally realized, after listening to chatter on the VHF, that my speed was too slow. I cranked it up to 3.5 to 3.7 and it was game on.
